Hi, without going into too much detail, I would very much appreciate your prayers. God knows what is going on in my home in regards to my son and I, I pray daily about the situation. I ask that you please stand with me in prayer, that God will restore peace, love and laughter into my home. This has been lacking for so many years. I have always been a single mother, worked all my life and never really had a chance to attend the school plays with my son, and the things a mother should do, I have worked to keep a roof over our head, but I believe my son resents me for this. He is an only child. He is now 25 years old and doesnt work. As his mother, I still provide for him (food), he was receiving help from the State but told them he no longer wanted it, yet he makes no effort to try and alleviate the extra stress this has placed on myself having to support him and myself. I turned 50 last month, and he totally ignored me. I hear him speaking and laughing with his friends on line, but I am ignored and total dis-respected in my home. I just wonder if this how is my life is going to be. I cant throw him out, where would he go. Therefore I just buy him the necessary things he needs to get by, but he show no appreciation for this. I love my son, but I dont like him. When we have spoken, a month and half ago, it always ends up in an argument. I feel he could be doing more around the home to show that at least he is helping, but he tells me he doesnt have to do what I want and he wont work to line my pocket. There has been issues with him going out, as he thought people were always looking at him. This has been ongoing for some 9 years now. He is slowly coming out of it. Tends to just stand outside in the early hours of the morning to get some fresh air. There has been times when I have just cried, because I have done my best. I have put my life on hold in regards to forming any relationships, because, I wasnt prepared to get involved with anyone who I felt was not right - I was not prepared to have my son see an array of men in and out his life, as I wanted him to grow up with respect for women. I feel very tired, lonely and broke and just live hand to mouth on a daily basis, but I do talk and read God word daily for strength, so please even if its just one person, please pray for me that whatever it is that prevents my son and I from being close that God will intervene and give him back his life. I just feel some days that his life - my life has been stolen. The life God had for us was taken and we were robbed of everything, our peace, love, laughter, future, life. God says where 2 or 3 are gathered, there he is in the midst, so please pray for me. Many thanks and God bless
